any LA area system of a down/serj tankian fans?

[mimesere]

I have sale info on a Serj Tankian show for a Halloween show at the HOB Sunset. Anyone interested? (I have to work but you know. Sharing is caring.)

(one of the reasons I like SOAD and Serj is because, much like Tom Morello and the guys in RATM, they rock hard and are like social crusaders. Also, they are of my people! Sort of. I mean, generally. They are of Armenian descent and not Persian, but whatevs. Not so many middle eastern people for me to champion so I do it where I can.)

music by SOAD:

Aerials (+hidden track - awesome, awesome drumming. It is my actual favorite SOAD thing.)

I adore System of a Down. I have since they came out with Toxicity.

I am very hit or miss with SOAD. The songs I love, I really really love. The songs I don't really really love are...difficult to listen to. But I respect the hell out of them.

Definitely. There's something to be said about rock stars who give a big portion of their money towards helping their countrymen.

It's so true. Except, um, U2. For some reason, I mostly just want to punch Bono in the face. He's the only social crusader rock star who works my last nerve and I don't even know why.

Aw, that's sad. I love Bono!

I should! I don't know why I want to punch him, but I do. I like Joshua Tree era U2, though.

To each her own!
